Devialet Expert 200 [Template]

Purchased this from a dealer two months ago in perfect condition. I've since heard the new 130 Pro and will probably go that direction, so my loss is your gain! The 8/10 condition is conservative, as there are zero issues of any kind with this unit. I kept the plastic wrap on both the remote and the unit itself, and it will ship in its original box, original double-boxed shipping carton, with its remote, manual, power cord, cleaning wipe (still in original packaging) and handling gloves. Shipping is included in my asking price, though I welcome local auditions.

"The Devialet 200 is one remarkable component; its hybrid Class A/D amplifier, innovative software-controlled architecture, advanced features, and genre-bending shape and operation are unique. But the 200 is more than a just technological wonder—its sound quality is in many ways superb. The 200’s bass authority, dynamic impact, soundstage transparency and dimensionality, and transient speed far exceed expectations for an under-$10k integrated amplifier/wireless streaming DAC. The upper-mids and treble are a bit on the incisive side, a character that can be tamed with the 200’s tone controls or ideal loudspeaker matching.

"This outstanding performance was catapulted into another realm by running a pair of 200s in mono. The monoblock 200s not only improved upon the best qualities heard in stereo operation, but more significantly, ameliorated my reservations about the treble. Surprisingly, mono operation rendered a more refined presentation by virtue of the greater midrange liquidity and a significantly smoother and more relaxed high end.

"The Devialet 200/400 is, by a wide margin, the most advanced, flexible, and technically sophisticated audio product I’ve reviewed. It may look like a lifestyle product, but underneath the 200/400 is a serious piece of audiophile hardware. It’s a compelling package that just happens to sound great, too."
